Professional Communities
The four professions that keep housing moving.
Five Star Institute organizes and connects the servicers, attorneys, real estate professionals, and preservation specialists who form the operational backbone of the mortgage and housing industries.
The Communities
Four professions, one association.
Each community is distinct. Each is indispensable. The handoffs between them are where FSI's work happens.
Mortgage Finance
Servicers, subservicers, mortgage bankers, and lenders. The professionals who manage every home loan in America from origination through resolution — and whose portfolio decisions trigger every other community's work.
Where the portfolio decisions are made that engage every other profession.
Financial Services Law
Foreclosure, bankruptcy, and mortgage servicing law practitioners. The legal architecture that moves non-performing assets through every stage of resolution — at the speed and accuracy the lifecycle requires.
Where law turns servicer decisions into resolution.
Real Estate
Agents, brokers, REO specialists, SFR investors, and property managers. The professionals who return distressed and institutional inventory to productive use — and close the housing lifecycle.
Where assets return to productive use and the lifecycle closes.
Property Preservation
National field services and rehabilitation specialists. The professionals who maintain and restore assets between servicer decision and market disposition — protecting value at every stage.
Where value is preserved between servicer decision and market disposition.
Five Star Conference
All four communities. One room. Once a year.
